Metadata

Our federal government seems to have confused megadata with metadata.

Their proposed metadata format looks like this:

Title=Australian Federal Government file xxxxxx

Author/Creator=Classified

Subject and Keywords=Control Everything Program

Subject and Keywords=*

Description=Everything we can get our hands on

Publisher=NFP

Date=2014+

Type=All

Format=*.*

Source=All

Rights=This data can be used by any government agency for any purpose so long as we don’t get caught breaking any of our laws in doing so
